It's not the 13 second game (even though our game last year showed they didn't learn from it before half time), they simply went all in last season to win a Super Bowl and for numerous reasons mostly unfortunate, tragic even, it didn't work out. What the 2023 Bills are is what happens when you go all in and it doesn't pay off. Paid off for the Bucs, paid off for the Rams, it's the Naked Man of the NFL.
As long as they have Josh Allen, they'll be fine as a franchise, for this current team it might just not have meant to be.
They went all in? All I remember is the Von Miller signing. What other stuff did they do? It was it mostly cap stuff?
I'd say so, yeah. This wasn't a team that needed to make a number of big signings or trades, but the Miller contract and Diggs extension have definitely put them in a position where they don't really have a whole lot of wiggle room without having to lose a number of big names on the defense in FA this coming offseason. The Knox contract, as big of a fan of his as I am, isn't really paying off either.
Their cap situation was very much designed around winning a Super Bowl in 22 or 23 at the expense of the next few years.
I would also say it's the fact 3 of our pro bowlers on defense are out for the season in very key positions
